Trump administration personnel shuffle begins, White House deputy chief of staff Walters to depart

Odaily reports: White House Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Walters is leaving the Trump administration. He is the first senior official expected to depart in a round of personnel changes as incoming White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller prepares to take over the staff team. As a close ally of outgoing White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Walters' departure signals that an internal power transition is underway in the White House West Wing. As Miller's team prepares to move into more prominent roles, the internal personnel landscape of the White House will shift accordingly. Walters is one of Wiles' closest political aides, and their working relationship has spanned more than a decade. People familiar with the matter said Walters submitted his resignation on Friday, and the two sides decided on his departure after an amicable discussion. (Axios)
